Located just east of Houston, this large girder span can easily be seen from Minnesota Highway 16.
Originally built in 1895 across Little Medicine Creek at Bridge #I-646 near Galt, Missouri; this span was moved here in 1928 to replace an older pile trestle.
Railroads oftentimes reused older spans to save money, particularly on branch lines. Currently, the bridge consists of a single 85 foot through girder, set onto concrete substructures.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition. It is currently privately owned.
The author has ranked this bridge as being locally significant, due to the common design.
